falsehoods

So far, just about everything's either information that's been made public through the Irregulars' activities, or information we have to keep from them. Scott's being kept in the dark about this one. Thanks for the heads-up about the Class 7 Seal. Since not even we're going to be seeing it again, everyone on the science team's been taking precautionary measures to make sure the data's preserved and stays in our hands, as per your orders. We're breaking protocol in a big way. I've taken the liberty of copying all of the files we've opened up onto a blank laptop we had lying around before handing over the original to Cyclops for safekeeping until PTC SpecOps arrive to handle it until they get into lock-up down at the Box. Hopefully, nobody at Central Command will find out.

About the data: I like what we're seeing. No sign of any connection to Father Paranoia on this one. Common Paranoia iconography is nonexistent, and subjective stuff's at a minimum. Redlight's supposed hive-mind status is a non-factor, just by looking at it.

Will continue sifting through the data to see if anything noteworthy comes up.

PS. I found out who that prick was that reprogrammed the vending machines to say 'Dispensing delicious neurotoxins!' It was Manny. Do what you want to him; I'd rather we don't have him executed. We're short on people as it is, and people with Manny's education don't grow on trees. He's a dolt, but he's a valuable dolt.

I've been hearing about a disturbing practice in the Military Department that's spread to the Science Department. The PTC has no official funeral proceedings or protocol, as you know.

So, why the hell have you people been laying corpses out in the gunship docking bay and throwing active hand grenades at them to the tune of Taps?!

Goggles wanted me to send this little heads-up along. The Banhammer (yes, I'm calling it the Banhammer, I don't care about your insistent terminology) is ready for deployment, but because of Cyclops, we might not get a chance. The guy absolutely refuses to let us test it on that one civilian we abducted just for this purpose. Now we're gonna have to kill him anyway! He's seen way too much!

The only other option is to detain the civvie for the time being and test the prototype in the field against the Slender Man himself, but I don't think we're gonna get the shot before our scheduled Path of Black Leaves expedition.

We've narrowed down the list of potential candidates for the expedition down to twelve. As I stated, we want to go with a small, six-man team. We're deciding which unlucky 50% of our slack-jawed joes get to go and get torn apart in an alien dimension. Cyclops is going along, no matter what. We need a field commander for the operation's military escort.

Will keep you posted.

PS. Manny stepped up the vending machine joke instead of reprogramming them back to normal. Now they actually dispense gas from home-made stink-bombs. He's slated for the expedition no matter who else is going, so don't worry.
